Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The practice of modern medicine increasingly relies on medical imaging from multiple sources to guide better diagnosis and therapy. Large amounts of medical images collected from different systems and devices are produced daily, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), photoacoustic tomography, ultrasound, optical coherence tomography, EEG/MEG, and pathological imaging. Modern image processing technologies can improve medical image quality considering the physics degradation factors or extract information from medical images for guidance, which help doctors improve diagnostic accuracy and reliability.
In this Special Issue, we invite novel research contributions showing information processing techniques in medical imaging. Possible research topics include, but are not limited to:
- Reconstruction;
- Denoising;
- Segmentation;
- Classification;
- Registration;
- Motion analysis.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page.
